ponibooru does not promote underage drinking
we do, however, find it hilarious |

Notice that (aside from AppleBloom, who was working) there were no fillies in the cider episode? I'm taking that as a sure sign that the writers were at least hinting at it being alcoholic. |

Hey now. If you never drink at a young age you might die! |
| Mushi #1017349 5 months ago |

@Gomenasai
...Make orange juice? |
| AcuteAngle #1017368 5 months ago |
We watched the cider being made; all they did was crush the apples into juice. How could that be alcoholic?
Not that I mind people making it their headcanon that it's alcoholic, but I think it's silly to say that's what the writers/animators were implying. |

Psychopomf said: As opposed to dying when one doesn't drink? Which also happens? Ginger_Fig said: My only real issue with that is the process with which the Apples made the cider (as seen in the contest) doesn't seem to allow room for proper fermentation. (Though I'm not too knowledgeable on alcohol, so, I may just be wrong on that count.) You could then argue 'magic!', with which I could only say that there's no real reason for there to be magical intervention for a process that has apparent naturalistic methods for it. Not to mention that nopony seemed to get actually drunk or tipsy off of it. They just love the stuff. It does have an alcoholic sort of look in the way it's served, though, what with the kegs and the beersteins. |

It's also much funnier to imagine the cider is alcoholic. |
| Fubarman #1017417 5 months ago |
fermentation is not instant, it can take weeks or months depending upon your methods and the particular juice being used.
so the product in the episode is definitively non-alcoholic (unless they magicked some alcohol into it somehow) that being said, ♪When i was seventeen, i had some very good beer♪ |
| CogWeaver #1017429 5 months ago |
Also, I thought actual cider was made from bruised apples. So if they're using untouched apples from a tree, wouldn't they be just making apple juice?
Or do I have that backwards? |

@#1017398
This. Beside, I don't know much about cider, but since they have a cider season that only happen once a year, it's not hard to assume that they grow some special kind of apple that makes the cider alcoholic by default. |

Apple Bloom's nose is freaking me out. |
| Anonymous #1017463 5 months ago |
Alcoholic or not, I'm pretty sure THIS batch of cider tastes like Scootaloo. |
| Jackarunda #1017559 5 months ago |
you guys
are fucking weird apple cider is not alcoholic it's pretty much applejuice |
| Jackarunda #1017564 5 months ago |
and in the U.S. we give our kids applejuice
like a lot it's really common |
| Qev #1017632 5 months ago |
'Sweet cider' is non-fermented, 'hard cider' is fermented. Two different kinds, folks. |
| RealityCheck #1017646 5 months ago |
and I'm pretty sure neither kind is FOAMY |

PVRyohei said: ...No, actually, that's an incredible assumption to make. Why assume that at all? Also, what Jackarunda said, sort of. In the U.S. and Canada, there's a distinction between 'hard cider' and 'cider'. The latter isn't alcoholic. This show was made more or less in the U.S. and Canada. So, wouldn't they employ this kind of familiar terminology when writing the show? |

Eh! Steeve! |
| PVRyohei #1017766 5 months ago |
@dudemang
I dunno, it just made sense to me. Since they had the zap apples for making the zap apple jam, it made sense to me that they had other kinds of special apples to make other specifics foods/drinks. But once again, I know nearly nothing about cider making and fermentation, so I can't say for sure. |
| Manman20x6 #1018111 5 months ago |
Who cares about whether or not there's any alcohol in the Apple family cider? The pic is cute as fuck. |
| Anonymous #1018198 5 months ago |
They never specified if it's hard or not. teehee. I said hard. |
| Tarukai788 #1019354 5 months ago |
@Takino: XD throwbacks.
also, Jackarunda, there is hard cider, which is alcoholic, and far less sweet than regular cider. I have some out on my porch. it's tasty. |
